A Well Thats Come to Life

Thank you Jesus, consecrate my thoughts and make them your own to use as you wish. I have faith in the blood of the Lamb, that blood allows me access to your heart, help me to see and communicate your will. This new record is for examining some of the issues of faith that I encounter, and expressing those in a context that is open to all.

Today I created this record with the name "Inheritance Among Their Brethren" for a number of reasons. Job gave out his riches to his offspring, and included his beautiful daughters in the inheritance. This speaks to God's purpose for each of us, and how it is not partitioned out according to one's gender, a common misconception among modern Christians. Each of our roles may be different, and the mantle of authority vs the 'mothers love' is biased according to gender (though not exclusively), but I do not believe God favors based upon genetics. Look at those who touched Jesus in the Gospels; a man touched his hem, John lay on his breast, a woman wiped his feet with her tears, and the woman with the alabaster box of ointment. Certainly John the Baptist touched him when baptizing. And after he resurrected, he did not allow any to touch him till he had ascended. When he subsequently appeared to the disciples, they clung to his feet and worshiped him. Yet of those recorded who touched him, there was no discrimination.

On a more personal level, I have three daughters as of this juncture, and desire for them to find the inheritance God has for them. My eyes have been opened to the wonders of God's incredible plan for each, and hope for that wonder to be communicated to my children. The source of wonder, the source of life is the Spirit God fills us with. I believe that that source will grow here, quenching the thirst of many. That is the concept for the address of this record, pege anazao, which is ancient Greek for "well - come to life". I believe we can find a well here, a well of life water. A well that has come to life again.

This implies that I have been a dry well for a time, and it is true. Yet our God is full of grace, and I believe He is stirring within me renewed life. May this be a pleasing word carrying the living intentions of a magnificent Creator. Thank you Lord, renew my mind and those who read this. Enter into the heart of each with a refreshing flow of your eternal life and voice.
